A woman seated next to me had her own bag with water and snacks.

While we were going in (I was with Yvonne at the time), I remember one of the staff telling someone that they can take a bottle in but without the lid.

As I was coming in, they never searched me. I had no bag, but I did have a few items in my Jacket pockets. I was explaining what I had, and they interupted me in the middle and said "that's ok, just move on." Probably my MJ Tshirt put 'em off
